Adversity and Bili levels

We are just home from the doctor. The pediatrician said Judah's Bilirubin levels remained the same today! He looked pretty golden to me under the florescent light when they were drawing his blood, and I was starting to get nervous. 

We had to go straight from the hospital to the doctor's office to discuss the results. I felt a weight of uncertainty and worry wondering if we'd be readmitted. I could feel my spirit say, "If we just get through this, then all will be okay."

Then I remembered a few months prior when we had all the VCUG/diabetes scares with Belle. At that time I was 6 months pregnant, and during the midst of that uncertainty, I remember saying the exact thing to myself. 

In that moment I came to the realization that there is always adversity awaiting around the corner. You will never fully escape its grasp. With every season brings new challenges, new difficulties, new uncertainties. All we can do is lean into our Father and walk with him through our circumstances.

My prayer today has been that Jesus would be my sustainer, my breath, my strength. That no matter the adversity, my trust is in Him.
peace and blessings for today - in uncertainty, joy, comfort or fear
